Gentry, Hadley and the truck driver Matthew, were all aged 28 at the time. Matthew, who police say was distracted while driving, was charged with involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to one to three years in prison. He served one year and three months.

During his trial, Matthew apologized to the distraught parents, who publicly forgave him.
